Benjamin Wade, more commonly known as "Coach," is returning to Survivor for a third try. “The reception for me, when I step on that beach and am chosen to be on a tribe, I’m just going to kill ‘em with kindness.” He still owns his eclectic persona that viewers love from previous seasons, but the symphony conductor, men’s soccer coach and pastor promises that, “Coach 3.0 is going to be different than any time you’ve seen him.”

Coach believes that it is his experience and his leadership that make him an asset to his tribe, but he’s reevaluating his strategy this time around. “I’ve got to come out here and I’ve got to be confident but not arrogant, strong but not intimidating, I’ve got to be humble but not weak, I’ve got to be honorable but not self righteous.”

What does he think of Ozzy, his competition? “He is a great warrior in challenges, he’s great at survival, he’s going to be a tough competitor on the other tribe.”

For me, Coach gives me the inverse of the "Rupert" effect. Every time I see Coach on another season, I find him more lovable. I didn't like him in Tocantins at all (partially due to my Stephen fandom). I liked him enough in HvV (but between him and Courtney, I'd rather loose him). And now, I think I like him enough that I hope he stays for a while. I like him more than Ozzy, but I LOVE Savaii (Ozzy's Tribe)!
